In its first run at transitioning to the by-district election system, the Carpinteria City Council has voted to divide the city into five districts for the November 2022 elections, with the mayor continuing to be appointed every two years by the council.
“This is kind of the launching point,” said City Manager Dave Durflinger. By answering these questions tonight, it really cuts us loose to start doing the public outreach process.

I look forward to working with this new council to make sure that we as a council keep the community s best interests at hand.
Nomura said he loves Carpinteria. I consider Carpinteria my paradise, Nomura said. My paradise is where I live. One of things I realized is that I have to do, that we all have to do, is to invest to make sure that paradise stays your paradise.
